I use to not eat breakfast because the only thing I enjoyed was oatmeal. But there are only so many ways to eat it! Then I went and stayed with a family from England. They ate their main meal in the morning. I mean, the meat, patatoes, veggies. It took a little getting use to, but now I enjoy it. It fills me up and carrys me through the day. i don't have to snack on junk because I feel hungry. in the evening, I'll eat something light, like a chicken salad or tuna wrap or hot cheese sandwich. I don't have to munch at night either. My husband has already lost 45 lbs! Oh, I still like eggs and french toast in the morning! LOL

Yep, every morning...I'm more likely to skip lunch or dinner than breakfast. I either eat a bowl of steel cut oats w/ a banana and a little peanut butter and a splash of almond milk (on days that I run 6 or more miles - need the complex carbs for that) or a couple egg whites with some chopped veggies w/ 1/2 a whole grain sandwich thin with a small bit of cheese. usually about 4oz of OJ (my splurge, LOVE IT won't give it up) and a cup of coffee w/ fat free milk no sugar. It's my heartiest meal of the day and it carries me through the afternoon even on my toughest workout days.
